uxcell Carbon Fiber Rod 200mm 5mm x1mm Pultruded Lightweight Strip

Description

Product Overview

The uxcell carbon fiber rod is a precision‑engineered pultruded strip designed for high‑performance applications. Measuring 200mm in overall length, 5mm in width and just 1mm in thickness, the bar features a round‑edge flat cross‑section that balances strength and ease of handling. Constructed from high‑tensile, high‑modulus unidirectional carbon fibers, the surface is polished to a smooth finish, providing both aesthetic appeal and reduced drag in aerodynamic uses. The lightweight construction—approximately one‑fifth the weight of comparable metal components—offers excellent corrosion resistance and heat tolerance, ensuring durability in demanding environments.

Usage

This carbon fiber strip excels in a variety of hobbyist and professional settings. It is commonly employed as a wing spar for racing drones, RC helicopters, and fixed‑wing airplanes, where stiffness and low weight are critical for speed and maneuverability. Sailboat enthusiasts use the rod as a mast or boom spar, benefiting from its resistance to saltwater corrosion. The bar’s dimensions also make it suitable for custom kite spars and lightweight structural reinforcements in prototype projects. Its easy‑to‑cut nature allows users to trim to exact lengths without compromising structural integrity.

FAQ

Can the rod be cut to a shorter length?

Yes, the carbon fiber strip can be trimmed with a fine‑toothed saw or rotary cutter. Because the fibers are aligned, cutting does not significantly affect the remaining strength.

Is the product compatible with standard RC mounting hardware?

The 5mm width matches common mounting brackets for RC wings and spars. Drilling small pilot holes allows secure attachment using standard screws or bolts.

What is the maximum load the rod can support?

While exact load capacity depends on installation, the high‑modulus carbon fibers provide a tensile strength exceeding 2,500 MPa, making it suitable for most hobby‑grade applications.

Does the rod require any special coating or treatment?

No additional coating is necessary; the polished carbon surface is already resistant to moisture, UV exposure, and chemicals.

How does the price compare to similar carbon fiber products?

At $9.49, this rod offers an affordable entry point for high‑performance carbon fiber without compromising quality, making it competitive with other premium hobbyist options.
